Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of navigating a vehicle to a parking space in a destination area surrounding a target destination, wherein parking data is received for said destination area, and wherein a parking area within said destination area is determined from said parking data.
  • the invention further relates to a parking navigation system for a vehicle for navigating said vehicle to a parking space in the destination area surrounding a target destination, for use in a method as described above, said system comprising receiving means for receiving parking data for said destination area, and control means for determining a parking area within said destination area from said parking data.
  • the invention also relates to a parking navigation arrangement comprising at least one parking navigation system as described above.
  • An increasing number of vehicles are nowadays equipped with navigation systems for guiding the vehicle to a destination targeted by the driver of such a vehicle. This provides a certain level of comfort to the driver of the vehicle since he/she is not bothered anymore with consulting road maps or having to stop by the side of the road to consult passing pedestrians.
  • a driver types in his target destination, and the navigation system calculates the quickest or shortest route to the intended target destination, based on a present position of the vehicle.
  • the driver is provided with guiding instructions, either on screen or by a synthesized voice. Travel time of the driver from its origin to its destination is significantly reduced, and the estimated time of arrival can be calculated by the navigation system and provided as output while driving.
  • a disadvantage of the present system is that it is unable to support the driver in finding a parking space at the destination. Therefore, upon reaching the target destination, de driver often still has to consult a street map or the like to find a suitable parking space. More sophisticated navigation systems may also provide the driver with the location of parking areas or parking garages near the destination. This is of course an improvement, since the driver may be easily guided to the nearest parking area he/she can park his/her car.
  • a still remaining disadvantage of these more sophisticated navigation systems is that upon arrival near the parking area, the driver may learn that all parking spaces within the parking area are occupied. Not only has the driver lost (valuable) time, but he is again bothered with finding another parking area for parking his vehicle.
  • Another disadvantage is that although large parking areas and parking garages may be indicated by the navigation system, parking spaces alongside the street cannot be found by the navigation system. It may be the case that the driver, while following instructions to the nearest parking area, may drive past one or more unoccupied parking spaces. The driver may decide to park his vehicle in one of these spaces, but while doing so, he may be unaware of local parking regulations, or the location of his target destination relative to where he parked his car.
  • a method of navigating a vehicle to a parking space in a destination area surrounding a target destination wherein parking data is received for said destination area, wherein a parking area within said destination area is determined from said parking data based on at least one parking strategy parameter, and wherein navigation information is provided to a driver of said vehicle for guiding said vehicle to said parking area, said method further comprising the steps of determining a traffic information parameter for said destination area; and based on said determined traffic information parameter determining said at least one parking strategy parameter for determining said parking area.
  • a parking area is determined based on at least one parking strategy parameter. Therefore a number of requirements resulting from the local situation in the destination area, and/or concerns of the driver, may be taken along while finding a parking area.
  • a traffic information parameter is determined for the destination area.
  • the traffic information parameter provides an indication of the actual local situation at the destination area, which may be relevant for finding a suitable parking area.
  • the at least one parking strategy parameter is determined. In other words, the strategy for finding a parking area is made dependent on the actual present situation at the destination area.
  • the method of the invention will guide the driver to any parking space suitable for his needs.
  • the vehicle may for example be guided to an unoccupied parking space which has the shortest distance to the target destination.
  • the at least one parking strategy parameter used for finding a parking area is made dependent on the outcome of a traffic information parameter. For instance, when there is heavy traffic the vehicle may be guided to the unoccupied parking space in the destination area that can be reached in the shortest possible travel time, given the vehicle's present location.
  • the parking area is determined while optimizing the at least one strategy parameter. It will be understood that optimizing the strategy parameter may be dependent on the strategy parameter itself. For instance, if the selected strategy parameter is distance to the target destination, optimizing the strategy parameter effectively means finding the shortest distance between an unoccupied parking space and the target destination. If the at least one parking strategy parameter comprises maximum allowed duration of a parking right within said parking area, a parking area is selected wherein it is allowed to park the vehicle at least for the duration required by the user. If however on the other hand property safety statistics are selected as parking strategy parameter, unoccupied parking spaces may be selected using the method of the present invention by finding a quiet area with low crime rates.
  • the at least one parking strategy parameter comprises at least one element of a group comprising estimated travel time of said vehicle to said parking area, distance between said parking area and said target destination, costs of parking said vehicle in said parking area, maximum allowed duration of parking in said parking area, type of parking service offered at said parking area, such as garage parking, street parking or mobile parking service, property safety statistics such as crime rates, and weather forecast.
  • some drivers may have a preference for certain parking services offered. For example, it may be the case that a driver prefers to park his car at a location where he is charged for the parking after returning to his car, e.g. because the required duration of the parking activity is not known. Also, the driver may want to benefit from the advantages of a mobile parking service, wherein his parking rights are registered via a wireless connection to a parking database and charged afterwards, e.g. by debiting his bank account..
  • crime rates or crime statistics for a certain area may therefore form a parking strategy parameter.
  • Another requirement may be based on the weather forecast. It may be the case that it will be a very warm and sunny day, and the driver wants to park his car preferably in a shaded area, in order to be certain that the temperature within the car will be at an acceptable level when the driver returns to his car. Alternatively, the driver may be afraid of a hail storm damaging the exterior of the car, and may therefore want to find a parking space in a parking garage.
  • the parking data is received from a parking database.
  • a parking database may, according to yet another embodiment, be a parking management system for at least a part of a residential area, said parking management system storing information regarding the provisioning of parking rights to users.
  • any other parking database wherein actual parking details are stored may be suitable within the method of the present invention.
  • a parking database operated by a mobile parking operator storing parking information for areas wherein a mobile parking service is offered, may also be used for providing parking data for use in a method according to the present invention.
  • a parking management system as described above for at least a part of a residential area is described in European patent application number 05076735.9 , titled: "Method of and parking management system for managing the issuing of parking rights, and a parking space navigation system for use with said method".
  • An advantage of using such a parking management system as described above, is that it is likely to contain full parking details of all parking rights provided within the destination area, or at least a large part thereof, regardless of the parking service provided and the party offering the parking rights.
  • the parking management system described above may beneficially be used for identifying any unoccupied parking spaces or parking areas wherein unoccupied parking spaces are likely to be found, at any point in time.
  • Such a parking management system may also, at least for some parking services, provide details regarding the expiry of a parking right in the near future. It may therefore be used to identify parking spaces that may become available within the destination area at the time of arrival of a vehicle driving to that area.
  • parking data such as made available by a parking management system as described above, or by any other parking database, may also be used to determine the traffic information parameter as used in a method according to the present invention.
  • the present overall occupation of parking spaces e.g. the percentage of parking spaces occupied in a certain area at a certain moment in time, may be used as a traffic information parameter providing an indication of the traffic load for that area.
  • the parking data is based on parking details from a plurality of users of parking rights in said destination area.
  • each user in the destination area provides parking details such as position of the parked car and optionally duration of the parking rights
  • This information may be gathered and stored in a database, or alternatively be received by a parking navigation system and stored locally in the vehicle. It is noted that for practical reasons the storing of such information in a central parking database is to be preferred.
  • a parking position is determined for a parked vehicle of at least one of said plurality of users using positioning means, and said parking details comprise said parking position of said parked vehicle.
  • positioning means may for instance be a satellite based positioning system, such as global positioning system (GPS) or Galileo.
  • GPS global positioning system
  • Galileo enables very accurate determination of the position of a vehicle, with an accuracy of typically 2 m, enabling identification of individual parking places wherein said vehicles are parked.
  • the recording of the parking position of each parked vehicle using Galileo may therefore provide a direct indication on which parking space is occupied and which is unoccupied.
  • the parking data comprises at least one element of a group comprising location of parking areas, availability of parking areas, such as occupancy status of parking spaces within said parking area, costs of parking rights in parking areas, maximum duration of parking rights for parking areas, properties safety statistics for parking areas such as crime rate, environmental data such as weather forecast for said destination area. It is noted that some of these details may be centrally recorded and stored in a parking database, while other details such as crime rate and weather forecast may be retrieved in a method of according to the present invention using other means. As an example, a weather forecast for a certain area may not be available from a parking database, but may be received wirelessly from sources such as the internet, or another information source.
  • the traffic information parameter is selected from a group comprising traffic load in said destination area, occupancy status for a plurality of parking spaces in said destination area, number of parking right issued in said destination area, actual traffic statistics for said destination area, a traffic load estimate based on historical traffic statistics, a traffic load estimate based on time, such as time of the day or day of the week, road blocks, traffic deviations, and events such as markets or parades taking place within said destination area.
  • This information may be based on received parking data, or may be received through other sources such as a traffic message channel (TMC), the internet or another wireless connection with an information source.
  • TMC traffic message channel
  • said at least one parking strategy is determined based on whether or not said traffic information parameter exceeds a threshold. It is noted that, for example, as soon as the number of vehicles passing traffic counter means installed in a particular road exceeds a certain threshold (e.g. 40 vehicles per minute), the method according to the present invention will select a parking strategy parameter to be used for heavy traffic conditions (e.g. estimated travel time of the vehicle to the parking area to be selected). Note that an output of these counter means are to be made available to a parking navigation system.
  • a threshold e.g. 40 vehicles per minute
  • this threshold may either be a factory setting, or may be determined by the driver of the vehicle. It is noted that the driver of the vehicle may also, optionally, determine other parameters, such as dimensions of the destination area surrounding the target destination, personal desired parking strategy parameters, etc.
  • the method further comprises a step of remote registration of a parking right after the vehicle has been parked.
  • the driver of the vehicle may extend the method by remotely registering the acquired parking right with e.g. a central parking database, by transmitting the required details to the parking database.
  • This part of the method may be performed using the rules and customs of a conventional mobile parking service, which is not described here in further detail.
  • the parking area may either correspond to a single unoccupied parking space, or may comprise a plurality of parking spaces, which is likely to contain at least one unoccupied parking space at least at an estimated time of arrival of the vehicle.
